Snickerdoodle Puppy Chow Snack Mix

You’ll love this sweet Snickerdoodle Puppy Chow Snack Mix because it’s quick and easy to make. White chocolate and cinnamon are the star flavors, a twist on the classic puppy chow, or “muddy buddies”, treat.

I can’t get enough cinnamon this time of year. That’s what makes this Snickerdoodle Puppy Chow the perfect snack for the fall season.

Puppy chow is a great snack for several reasons. One, you don’t need to turn on the oven. Two, you can make a lot at a time, which will feed a crowd. Three, you only need a few simple ingredients to make this addictive snack.

I have a few other snack mixes you may enjoy. Sweet Holiday Chex Mix is an addictive sweet snack that isn’t just for the holidays.

If you’re looking for a savory alternative I also have a Spicy Garlic Chex Mix and a Buffalo Ranch Chex Snack Mix that may fit the bill. 

Those with a nut allergy will especially love this recipe because it doesn’t contain peanut butter like the “classic” puppy chow. I’m a big fan of peanut butter, but I think this is an equally tasty alternative.
